Shadow People

Several
times when I was sleeping and just about to wake up, there would be two shadows
next to my bed. I'd hear them say:"C'mon,
let’s go. She's about to wake up. We have to go."Moments later, I'd be fully awake
and there would be no one but me inside of the bedroom.

Shadow
people are known as shadowy apparitions of a humanoid figure usually
encountered either during the night often in a state of sleep paralysisor in the
peripheries of our vision. They are described as humanoid shadows without any
facial features whose height varies from a shadow of a child to them being as
tall as the ceiling. Encounters with these apparitions probably exist since
there were people and there have been numerous reports about them thought the
history. However, they seem to be more talked about today. The reason for it
might be simple; we live in a lot more open-minded age with the access to the
internet which are two basic factors for talking about the unknown and quickly
sharing it.

GOOD OR BAD?

While some report shadow
people seemed to be friendly and even describe them as a type of a guardian
others claim that these creatures are not friendly at all but rather quite
sinister. Furthermore, some believe that the taller the shadow, the more
sinister it is. However, there are reports of child-like shadows described as
equally terrifying. From my experience, shadow person didn't cause me to think
it was friendly nor it frightened me; it seemed to just be there.
Therefore, I believe our feelings are our best guides when it comes to
shadow people.

THE HAT MAN

The Hat Man is believed
to be a type of a shadow person who can be recognized by wearing a hat. Unlike
other shadowy apparition, this one seems to always be of a sinister nature (if
anyone had a positive encounter with the Hat Man, I'd really like to hear so
feel free to let me know!) Sometimes, the Hat Man is described to have eyes;
often their eyes seem to glow in reddish or bluish tone. The Hat Man usually
appears when a person is going through a very stressful time. Therefore,
positive mindset is very important when it comes to paranormal (and probably
every other aspect of life).

SCIENTIFIC
EXPLANATIONS

Science explains this
phenomenon as "the old hag syndrome" or sometimes called "the
night hag syndrome". In the state between sleeping and waking up,
people experience sleep paralysis and powerful hallucinations. Sleep paralysis
is the result of a mechanism in which our body is unable to move during sleep
to avoid possible injuries. Sometimes our mind wakes up before our body which
causes us to be unable to move. Moreover, it is believed that during that
period, a part of our mind still continues to dream while our consciousness is
awake therefore resulting in consciously seeing different
apparitions. Many of the experiences don't necessarily fit under the old
hag syndrome therefore still leaving it open for an interpretation. Like with
the majority of paranormal phenomena, science just stops at one point. However,
fortunately, in modern dy and age scientists are at least trying to figure it
out instead of just labeling it as a lie, evil or crazy.

PARANORMAL PHENOMENA

So,
what could it be from the paranormal perspective? Well, the internet is full of
different theories. Some believe shadow people could be ghosts. I believe theshadow person I encountered at one point in my life was a spirit; you can read about it here. Others argue that the shadow people are completely different entities
from ghosts or, for that matter, that they are separate from any other
paranormal entities. There are theories they could be of a demonic nature because
of the terror or fear one could experience during the encounter. However,
others claim that the spirit might have the ability to cause these feelings as
well. Another theory proposes shadow people could be extra terrestrials
considering that the majority of the alleged abductions happen during the
hypogognic state. Some even claim shadow people are what people look like while
astral traveling. An interesting theory is the one suggesting these shadowy
apparitions are thought forms. If we were to invest a good amount of energy
into a certain taught, some believe it could take a form of its own. While this
is very often the reason for hauntings, many believe shadow people don’t fit
under that category. As with majority of paranormal phenomenon, there are many
different suggestions and theories of which none are firm and solid. As I said
before, we should follow our intuition when it comes to paranormal and shadow
people are not an exception. Therefore, try to come up with your own conclusion
to you own specific situation. What do you think what the thing you saw was?

Once you learn about Black Eyed Children and start to
dig deeper, you might stumble upon similar type of beings called White Eyed
Children. There is not as much information about white eyed children as there
is about black eyed children and reports of encounters are much rarer as well. This
might lead many to believe that white eyed children are just a spin off in the
story of black eyed children while others, especially those who encountered
them, claim that they are very real. APPEARANCE Instant similarities with black eyed children are
their eyes. In this case their eyes are white without pupils or any other color
to them, just sclera or white of the eye going across the entire eyes.
Furthermore, their skin is usually described as very pale to the point of
almost being translucent. Their hair is also reported to be very white and pale
however many could not correctly remember the color and style of their hair. Unlike
black eyed children who usually appear as 12 to 18 years old, whit…

There are rare cases when you have so much yet so
little to write about. This is one of them. Facts of this mystery can be written
in less than ten sentences yet one can write an entire book about all the
unanswered questions and possible answers. This story starts in October 2009
when the Jamison family mysteriously vanished. Their disappearance was an open
case until November, 2013 when their skeletal remains were found only to raise
more questions. Cause of the family’s death was never determined and
circumstances surrounding their disappearance remain a mystery. FACTS OF THE CASE Jamisons were the average family from Eufaula,
Oklahoma, US. The family consisted of father Bobby Dale Jamison, mother
Sherilynn Leighann Jamison and daughter Madyson Stormy Star Jamison. The family
was looking to purchase a land near Red Oak, Oklahoma when their mysterious
disappearance was reported. After a few days into the investigation, their pickup
truck was found abandoned in Latimer County, Oklahom…

Have you ever
heard the allegedly scientific fact that we can only dream faces we have seen
before? At first glance this seems hard to argue with since we encounter so
many different faces on daily basis weather on the streets or maybe on the TV.
However, I believe this research might not be as correct or as scientific as it
may seem. Firstly, the brain is probably one of the least understood parts of
the body and especially dreams which seem to be incredibly hard to study. Also,
doesn't it seem a bit strange that a human mind wouldn't have the capacity to
invent faces? Can we imagine different faces while awake? Yes, we can. So, why
wouldn't we be able to do the same while unconscious. We encounter
unfamiliar faces quite a lot in our dreams. According to psychologytoday.com, about 50% of characters we
encounter in dreams are not familiar to us. In some dreams up to 80% of
characters could be strangers. However, we might recognize them only if they
have one of main roles in…
